Check out the March edition of the YP Loop for info on upcoming events and YP news. Thanks to all who suggested that I start a page on MySpace, Linked-In, etc. That is a work in progress…until I have more time to delve into that, the PDF version will have to do. I welcome submissions to the YP Loop – due by the 15th of the month. Advertising is also available; e-mail baxter@greaterakronchamber.org for more info.

There are two great events coming up next Thursday, March 13:

1. Distinguished Service Award and Outstanding Young Citizens Scholarships will be awarded by the Akron Jaycees at a banquet held at the Tangier, starting at 6:00 p.m. For more info, e-mail akronjaycees@netzero.net.
2. Guinness & Glass, hosted by ArtCetera, will be held at Akron Glass Works, starting at 5:30 p.m. For more info, e-mail events@art-cetera.org or go to www.art-cetera.org.

Due to the steady stream of candidate appearances, rallies, commercials, ads, mailers, etc. that we have been bombarded with over the past several weeks, I doubt there are any YPs in Greater Akron who don't know that tomorrow is election day in the state of Ohio. What some people may not know, however, is that this election is much more than the Presidential Primary.

You will also be casting your ballot for the offices of:

• County Executive
• Ohio Supreme Court Justice
• Congressional Representative
• State Senator
• County Council
• and more!

Depending on your precinct, your ballot will also include:

• METRO RTA levy
• bond issues
• school levies
• Sunday alcohol sales proposals
• and more!

Check out the Summit County Board of Elections website for more information on all of the candidates and issues as well as the voter regulations.
